“This story pulled me in and wouldn't let me go. The Winter Witch is a deeply engaging tale about the importance of questioning the narratives we are taught and told, and the profound power of female bonds. A magical read.”

Praise for
The Winter Witch
A rollicking portrait of the filles de roi that centers these young vulnerable women and turns them into feisty, searching, transgressive heroines. Their superstitions make the book alive with magic and strangeness. It is surprising, disturbing, and triumphant. You will find yourself rooting for these young witches and their destinies until the very last page.

Jennifer Chevalier writes the best kind of historical fiction - brimming with enticing details, sparkling dialogue, and unforgettable characters. I was utterly enchanted by The Winter Witch.

About Jennifer Chevalier
I worked for many years at the BBC in London before moving home to Ottawa where I'm currently the Senior Producer of CBC Radio’s weekly political affairs program, The House. The journalism and the documentaries I've led have won several awards from the Radio Television Digital News Association, a Gracie, and a CAJ Award for investigative journalism. Winter is my favourite season, even at minus 20 degrees.
